Why Constellation’s ShortList Matters

Constellation Research is a leading advisory firm that helps organizations navigate digital transformation. Their ShortList evaluations spotlight the most forward-thinking solutions across 130+ technology categories, guiding businesses toward platforms that drive real-world impact.

What makes their selection process stand out? Unlike traditional analyst firms, Constellation’s team includes former CMOs, service desk leaders, and contact center managers — practitioners who understand firsthand what it takes to deliver exceptional customer experiences.

Why Gladly Stands Out
